"Jingle Bell"

When Gu Xiaodi was sleeping soundly in bed, a rapid phone ringing woke her up from her sleep.

She picked up the mobile phone on the bedside in a daze and connected it, only to hear the person on the other end of the phone say with a crying and reproachful tone: "You dead girl, why did you answer the phone!" Your brother...... Your brother was in a car accident and is in the hospital. ”

Gu Xiaodi instinctively immediately sat up from the bed and said anxiously: "What? Gu Xiaoxu was in a car accident? What the hell is going on? ”

"Today is your brother's engagement party, he is happy, he drank more wine in the restaurant, and when he came home, he was in a car accident while riding his motorcycle. Dead girl, if your brother really has something long and short, I won't live anymore. The person on the other end of the line began to cry as he spoke.

"Let me say what are you good about? He's drinking, why are you still allowing him to ride a motorcycle? Gu Xiaodi shouted on the other end of the phone.

"What are you yelling at? Your brother loves to ride motorcycles so much, and you don't know it. He has to ride, what can I say? ”

It's all at this time, and the person on the other end of the phone is still protecting Gu Xiaoxu indiscriminately, and Gu Xiaodi is already cold.

"Well, don't be in a hurry. I immediately booked a train ticket to rush back. Gu Xiaodi hurriedly got out of bed as she spoke.

"By the way, the doctor said that you need a lot of money, so you should bring more when you come back." The person on the other end of the line admonished again.

"Money again? Only when they need money will they find out about the existence of my daughter, right? Gu Xiaodi subconsciously showed a self-deprecating expression on her face, slandering in her heart.

"Got it."

She said this lightly and hung up the phone.

"Alas"

Another sigh.

Helpless? Lamentable? Or pity her own misfortune?

She didn't know, she just felt that there was a ball of gas in her chest, which made her uncomfortable.

She stood in the bedroom, stunned for a few minutes, and then went to her safe to get all the bank cards and cash and put them in her small black satchel.

Then he dialed Hao Yiyi's phone, and as soon as the phone was connected, Gu Xiaodi said anxiously: "Husband, my brother has had a car accident, and I want to go back to my hometown immediately." I took all the money and cards that I could bring with me, you have taken good care of yourself at home alone these days, and I will take Hao Tong with you. ”

The person on the other end of the phone simply said "oh" and hung up her indifferently.

Gu Xiaodi looked at the phone that had been hung up, but she just froze for a moment, and didn't hesitate too much.

The next second, she took out her khaki travel backpack again, hurriedly stuffed a few sets of Hao Tong and her clothes into it, and immediately booked two train tickets online, and then hurriedly put on her shoulder bag and went out with her backpack on her back.

At this time, in the R&D building of a company in the science and technology park of the high-tech zone, Hao Yiyi was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of his office with a black face, smoking cigarettes one after another.

He finished a cigarette in a few moments, and he snuffed it out in frustration before heading back to his desk.

When he walked to the desk and glanced at the phone he had just thrown on the table, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and then he grinned, "The family is all bloodsuckers." ”

--

Gu Xiaodi drove all the way to Hao Tong's kindergarten.

After she asked for leave for Hao Tong, she took Hao Tong all the way to the train station.

Fortunately, her hometown is not too far away, and it is only a five-hour train ride from H City.

She looked at the time on her wrist and was almost able to arrive at 18:00 in the afternoon in her hometown, City C.

"Ugh."

She couldn't help but sigh at the thought of her unruly brother and her own mother.

Although this younger brother didn't take her in his eyes since he was a child, and even bullied her all the time and didn't let her worry, after all, blood is thicker than water, and that is her own brother!

My brother!

Although she has a lot of complaints and anger in her heart, what can she do? She can't really leave it alone, right?!

yes, you can't leave it alone! This is the moral psychological shackles she has given herself!

On the one hand, his younger brother who was extremely spoiled by his mother, and on the other hand, he was himself who had never received his mother's love since he was a child, Gu Xiaodi fell into deep thought while sitting on the train.

The two roofs never seemed to be balanced.

"Mom, why did we go to Grandma's house all of a sudden? I don't like my grandmother very much, she is so fierce to you every time. Hao Tong sat next to Gu Xiaodi by the window, looked at Gu Xiaodi and asked seriously.

Gu Xiaodi was stunned when she heard Hao Tong's words. It has been two years since she last saw her mother, how could she not have thought that Hao Tong still remembered what happened two years ago and said such things?

"Something has happened to my uncle, and we're going to see him. Grandma is talking loudly, not murdering her mother, she also loves her mother very much. Gu Xiaodi explained softly to Hao Tong.

This kind of disobedient words made even Gu Xiaodi himself feel hypocritical.

"I don't like them. Mom never spoke loudly to Hao Tong, but she loved Hao Tong very much. Then why does grandma treat you fiercely every time? Hao Tong blinked his clear eyes, looked at Gu Xiaodi and asked again.

“……”

Gu Xiaodi was speechless for a while, and couldn't find a white lie that could be used to weave.

--

Since she met Hao Yiyi and married Hao Yiyi, she has only been home three times over the years, and Hao Tong has only seen her mother twice, but she didn't expect her mother to be so impressed on Hao Tong's little heart.

Once when she and Hao Yi had just gotten married, they went back to City C to hold a thank-you banquet for their relatives; Then there was when Hao Tong was three years old, her mother was hospitalized with pneumonia, and she went back once; Later, when Hao Tong was four years old, when her father had a minor operation, she went back again.

She vaguely remembered that when her father had surgery, her car was delayed, and when she rushed to the hospital with Hao Tong, her father had already done the operation, and her mother scolded her face without asking. At that time, the little Hao Tong stood next to her voice.

At this moment, Gu Xiaodi only felt faintly distressed when she looked at Hao Tong, and she tried hard to find a reasonable reason that could be explained to Hao Tong.

"That's because my grandmother is old and has a bad temper."

"Oh."

Gu Xiaodi told a white lie to Hao Tong, and Hao Tong nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Tong Tong, come, mom will hold you and sleep for a while, and when you get off the train and arrive at the station, mom will call you."

In the next second, Hao Tong obediently lay in Gu Xiaodi's arms and fell asleep.

The train was speeding along its tracks, and it was getting dark outside.

Gu Xiaodi just sat still, tightly hugging Hao Tong, who was already asleep in her arms.

After the train arrived at the station, Gu Xiaodi took a taxi to the hospital according to the hospital address her mother gave her.

--

After Gu Xiaodi rushed to the hospital, she finally saw someone who had been in the corridor of the intensive care unit for the first time in two years.

I saw that the woman, who was about 60 years old in a red cardigan and black trousers, was sitting on the row of chairs and wiping her eyes.

Gu Xiaodi looked at the man, squirmed his mouth, and never screamed.

That "Mom" was too difficult for her.

She took Hao Tong's hand and walked quickly towards the woman.

When she was almost two meters away from the woman, she coughed lightly and asked, "The ...... How happened to that Gu Xiaoxu? ”

Apparently, the woman heard her voice and immediately looked up at her.

"Another fierce expression." Gu Xiaodi looked at the woman and couldn't help but shudder in the center of her heart.

For many years, except for a few more folds on her face, every time I see her, I have such a chilling expression.

The woman got up from the row of chairs excitedly, hurriedly walked to Gu Xiaodi's side, and then grabbed Gu Xiaodi's shoulders and shook them without saying anything, "You dead girl, why did you get there?" If it's a little later, you won't see your brother, you know? ”

Seeing this, Hao Tong was immediately frightened and hid behind Gu Xiaodi.

Gu Xiaodi looked at Hao Tong's reaction, her heart twitched, and then she had a gloomy face and said coldly to the woman: "You let go of me first, and also, in the future, you don't talk so loudly in front of Hao Tong every time, you will scare him like this, how is Gu Xiaoxu doing now?" ”

The woman didn't pay attention to Hao Tong behind Gu Xiaodi at all, and still shook Gu Xiaodi's body excitedly and cried: "The doctor said that the danger period has not passed, and the entire left leg is gone, even if it is rescued, I can only be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, how can I live." ”

After listening to this, Gu Xiaodi said with an extremely unhappy face: "Enough, Gu Xiaoxu has become what he is today, isn't it caused by you?" ”

The woman didn't expect Gu Xiaodi to react at all, she stopped crying at once, and beat Gu Xiaodi's body angrily and scolded: "You dead girl, what do you say?" ”

Gu Xiaodi stood there silently, letting the woman's fist beat every cell in her body.

She was already numb to everything in front of her.
